Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define Canada West as a location. The ultimate destination for many African Americans on the underground railroad was Canada West (present-day Ontario) between Buffalo and Detroit on the northern shore of Lake Erie.
2. Explain that Black Americans began to settle in Canada West as early as the 1820s, and, because the British Empire after 1833 prohibited slavery, fugitive slaves were safe there.
3. Note that the stronger fugitive slave law that Congress passed as part of the Compromise of 1850 made Canada an even more important refuge for African Americans.
4. Outline that between 1850 and 1860, the number of black people in Canada West rose from approximately 8,000 to at least 20,000.

Answer to Question 2
